InSite™ Rapid Listeria Species & Listeria monocytogenes Test (Pack of 50)

An easy to use, self-contained rapid environmental Listeria species and Listeria monocytogenes test.

InSite™ L.mono Glo is an easy-to-use, self-contained, environmental sampling and screening test for Listeria species and Listeria monocytogenes. Each device contains a chromogenic liquid media formulated with antibiotic growth enhancers, colour changing compounds specific to Listeria and fluorescent compounds specific to Listeria monocytogenes. The two-step test changes colour in the presence of Listeria species, while illumination
with a UV torch reveals the presence of Listeria monocytogenes. A change in colour after 24-48 hours of incubation is considered presumptive for Listeria species and Listeria monocytogenes when illuminated with a UV torch.

Only a Mini Incubator (TEST0107 & TEST0107/01) or Lab Format Incubator (TEST0125 & TEST0125/02) and a UV torch (TEST0055 or TEST0195) is required, and no additional sample handling of the sample is necessary.

Features:

• All-in-one sampling and detection for ease of use.
• Large foam swab for maximum sample pickup.
• Foam swab pre-moistened with neutralising buffer to minimise sanitiser interference.
• Presumptive positive results in as little as 24 hours.
• UV fluorescence indicates pathogenic Listeria.
• Easy to interpret results, when Listeria species are present in a sample, the liquid media changes colour from amber to black. If the pathogenic Listeria monocytogenes is present, the media will glow green when UV light from a UV torch is used to illuminate the swab.

A mini incubator and the 12 well block is required (TEST0107 & TEST0107/01 - sold separately) or for larger swab volumes a Lab Format Incubator and two 35 well blocks (TEST0125 & TEST0125/02 - sold separately) can be used to allow up to 70 swabs to be incubated.

No additional sample handling of the sample is necessary.
